I've mentioned here before that gssproxy is crashing all over the place
with a SEGV. However, there's no /var/spool/abrt/... when it does. How do
I enable the daemon to give me an abrt with information? I'm just not sure
of what the right word is for systemd, so online searching isn't always
useful.

Thanks in advance.

I just checked the status of amavisd:

I'm not sure it this is the correct location to ask these questions, but ...

In the past when I worked for a living the place where I worked had
thousands of RHEL Linux servers on various hardware, but the access was
controlled by Windows Active Directory and a third party piece of
software that was the middle-man between the 2.

Now that I no longer work I'm trying to build a CentOS Linux environment
where the access is controlled by 389-Directory Server.

Hello,

mtx and therefor amanda use generic device /dev/sg<x> for tape changer.

These devices change on reboot.

How to make them persistent?

/dev/sch0 and /dev/sch1 seem to be persistent.

/dev/tape/by-id/ shows links from WWID to generic device

An UDEV rule could help? I have not found any example.

Due to being ill when I returned from FOSDEM, I'm behind on getting the
February newsletter out.

Many thanks to the SIGs that got their reports in!

If you have content that you would like to submit to the newsletter,
please send it to me, or to the Promo mailing list, ASAP. Thanks.

I have a C7 7.6.1810 install that I wish to "reinstall".
when I run "yum reinstall \* "
I get a long list of items saying will be updated or will be installed but
then
nothing happens - nothing is re-downloaded etc...

How do I get the system to actual download all current packages and
re-install them ?

Thanks,

Jerry

I've got my direct rules, converted from a C6 iptables-save. I load them -
they're to add to the built-in FORWARD chain. They all seem to load... but
then, when I try to --reload, I get
Error: BUILTIN_CHAIN: chain 'FORWARD' is built-in chain

and firewall-cmd --direct --get-all-rules returns nothing.

Hallo,
I m looking for a tool to convert my running system into a installation dvd.
Thanks for hint.
I found some tools working more or less for debian.

Thank for hints

Just curious. In the two most recent releases of CentOS 7 AltArch i386
there has not been made available a DVD iso (or the live ones) alongside
NetInstall/Minimal/Everything. Any plans to make available the DVD
variation for the current or future releases?

For older 32-bit hardware, it can be nice to be able to burn a single layer
DVD.

Thanks for your time,

Hi all,
Much like Ubuntu and Debian teams have OVAL content published for detecting
vulnerabilities, are there plans of publishing such content? e.g.
<a href="https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/oval/" title="https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/oval/">https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/oval/</a>

On a related note, has anybody looked into using RHEL oval content on
CentOS?

Hi,
When will these two components’ source reach the vault?

Hi,

Some time ago I wrote an introductory article about SELinux on my blog.
I'm currently updating it for my new blog, and I found a curious change
in SELinux policy. Here goes.

For demonstration purposes, I'm using some static webpages, more exactly
the default pages found in /usr/share/httpd/noindex, which I simply
copied over to /var/www/html.

As a first practical example, I'm copying this stuff over to /tmp/backup
and then move it back again.

This keeps logging:

Could not get metalink

14: HTTPS Error 503 - Service Unavailable

I've removed the epel-release package, done a "yum clean all", then
reinstalled it, but still get the same error.

Everyone,

Please forgive me for being off topic and really off list !!!

I am trying to get a Sig100 signature pad to work with Centos 7.6 machine and am not
getting much support from the manufacturer. The product is sold as linux compatible, but
so far it is not. I have been able to download their software on a microsoft system and
see that the unit does work on microsoft.

My question to everyone on the list is have any of you had any brand of signature pad work
with Centos 7.6? If so I would surely appreciate knowing the brand and how you did it.

Hi,
I’m attempting to build a 7.63.0 RPM for centos from a spec file I created.

I am getting the following tests failures:
“These test cases failed: 206 1049 1060 1061 1232 1241 1421”

Here is an example of an output for test 206, any help to get insights into it would be greatly appreciated:

Hi,

There is a plan from CentOS to support OpenSSL 1.1.1 in future versions of CentOS 7 because openssl community has OpenSSL 1.1.1 which was released in Sep 2018 and it has fixed for many vulnerabilities.
And CentOS has 1.0.2k version.

Can you please update on this?

Hey there,
what type of backup solution do you use on C7?

Thanks in advance

Hey CentOS list!

I've got an oddity with a diskless client setup that I suspect is the
result of the initrd.img I'm using, or some parameter I'm unaware -- or I
need to build my own initrd image (and could use some assistance on what
has to be done in that department)

Testbed is defined as:

VM A:
ip: 192.168.250.10 with dhcp server, tftp server, nfs server
VM B:
pxeboot VM, with no local disk, bios set to pxe, same internal network
as VM A
Early on in the boot cycle, it grabs a DHCP address of 192.168.250.100,
with correct mask, gw etc from VM A

When I start the testbed setup:

Hi list,
I created my rpm for Bacula 9.4.1 reading centos srpm spec files. I made
a single package and not split in several packages because this is my
first rpm so I created my spec file taking a cue from bacula-5.3 spec file.

All works as intended, an rpm was created and installed without any not
fixable issue.

After installing my bacula rpm I run a test to see if all works as
expected.

Observing deadlock between SIPhandler and SDL Router in CUCM.
Looks like this is fixed in glibc 2.17.162 version, but we see the issue still

Hello there,

I'm on a CentOS7 laptop, in a Mate session w/ my default user, and in
that desktop, I run apps from other users using sudo, su. It appears
that apps started using sudo or in terminals+su, can't play sound:

[pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {f7ac68929370425d82f882c116a21597}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native, refusing to start/autospawn.

User 1000 is my default user. I've searched and read a lot about this
topic, and found many suggestions but none works so far.

What's the correct way to allow all users to play sound in my default
user's desktop session?

Ok, I think my only choice at this point is to delete and recreate the
RAID, then restore from backup (oy, 7TB).

I see that I can do an mdadm --remove /dev/md0, then, the page I see that
on, suggests zeroing the superblocks. What would happen if I *don't* zero
the superblocks before doing an mdadm --create? Would I just wind up back
where I am?

There's usually a lot more traffic here. Just today, I've started
wondering if a lot of folks who are usually here are on furlough, with the
US gov't shutdown.... If so, my condolences, folks.

Hi, folks,

We've been recently (the last few months) having issues on workstations
with the radeon driver.

A user's system had a hard drive failure over the weekend. Linux RAID 6. I
identified the drive, brought the system down (8 drives, and I didn't know
the s/n of the bad one. why it was there in the box, rather than where I
started looking...) Brought it up, RAID not working.

Just wondering the status of CentOS 7 ppc64, as 7.6.1810 was released on
December 3rd 2018 for all arches *but* ppc64, and no news since.

In the CentOS Infra, I had to maintain ppc64 hosts for both cbs/koji and
other nodes, but as recently, someone decided to archive 7.5.1804 to
vault, and also that there is no ppc64 anymore on mirrors, one having to
deal with ppc64 is now in a position where :
- it's impossible to install new ppc64 host
- it's impossible to just "yum install" anything either

Can we get an official statement from the ppc64 maintainer about this ?
Or should we consider that a

Does someone have a link to a how-to-do-it with firewalld, not "disable
firewalld and use iptables"?
